It's a mohawk solo 13. I bought from the dealer in Chattanooga a couple of years ago. I replaced the cheap plastic end pieces with wood. I think they are called breast plates. It is the R84 material weighs about 43 pounds. I bought it for carrying above some shoals in a river I enjoy fishing.
Fantastic - I own a Souris River 16 foot Prospector Canoe weighing about the same as your Mohawk. It is a Kevlar Ultra Light and it takes a fair chunk of stuff plus me and my dog.
Wow the Souris river makes some awsome canoes. My wife caught me asleep drooling on that page, or it might have been the H20 canoes that were displayed in canoe roots paddling guide. But being the tight wad I am, I thought I would save a couple of hundred.
The shorter canoes don't track as well, it's about like a kayak. I use my mad river 15.6 if I go canoe camping. It's the heavy one about 80 pounds, the triple tuff heavy stuff, but I don't have to portage on these lakes, and it can handle a pretty good load.
I use to have a Coleman Canoe made by a guy named Coleman that lived in our town. His canoes where atrociously heavy. So I splurged and bought a good one (for me). I canoe camp a lot, often solo. What's your experience?
